I’m frequently amazed by other photographers who are able to make a beautiful image out of a scene most of us wouldn’t look at twice. The images that most inspire me are those that might never have been taken. The little details we pass by every day, and sometimes don’t notice. Maybe they’re even inconvenient things, but an artist will take it and compose a thing of beauty.
I’ve always thought that one of my short-comings as an ART photographer was that I have a hard time capturing abstract images that turn an unremarkable scene into a striking photograph. My self assignment lately has been to slow down, and notice the beauty that appears within the mundane.
This image was taken from inside my car one foggy morning. It’s condensation that formed overnight on the windshield. In my haste to get to work on time I almost didn’t even shoot this.
This is beautiful. It’s a wonderful reminder to look for the beauty of God’s design in unexpected places. Thanks, Joel, for taking time to snap this shot. The simple shape of the condensation and gradation of color makes an excellent composition.
